    <description><![CDATA[Balance of opinion, Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations (CSCE), quarterly data

Balance of opinion is the percentage of respondents expecting their spending to increase minus the percentage expecting their spending to decrease. Responses of decrease significantly and increase significantly are given twice the weight of responses of decrease slightly and increase slightly. The range of potential outcomes of this double-weighted balance of opinion is -200% to 200%.
